Practice-Relevant Vocabulary Research

Yea for instantly accessible, authoritative, free research! Google books published an extensive preview of Vocabulary Instruction; Research to Practice, edited by James F. Baumann and Edward J. Kame'enui (2003). Though I haven't read any of the chapters yet, the table of contents is very promising. I recognize many big names from my own literature review: McKeown, Beck, Biemiller, Coyne, Simmons, Kame'enui, and Marzano. Very practical. At least one book reviewer (Sylvia Read) concurs. Add it to my ambitious summer to-do list.
